[Bridge: Uptown A.P]
Money clothes and them hoes
That right there is our motivation
Work is all that I know its bout time I get a vacation
Can’t stop til my casket close or atleast until I make it
But when your young and black and got drive there’s always gonna be somebody hating

[Hook: Planet VI]
In america (wooh-ohh 2x)
Tryna make it in america (wooh-oh 2x)
Tryna make it in america
Pledge our allegiance to our swag
Tryna make it in america
Together we fallen divided we stand
Tryna make it in america

Back in the days when we were young but were not kids anymore
But today I wish that we were kids again
Back in the days when we were young but were not kids anymore
But today I wish that we were kids again

[Verse 2: Anything Ill]
Mom and dad got laid off
Why you think we out here grinding
Slanging dope days off
Its illegal but its my only option
Go hard no days off
In another words ain't no stopping
Tell my grandmama to pray for me because I know the police watching
Tired of living check to check
Live life with no regrets
If you don’t move your feet
Then I don’t eat
My nigga we like neck to neck
Tryna make it in america
Be in front of the camera
This here the soundtrack my star-spangled banner
Money clothes and them hoes
That right there is our motivation
Work is all that I know its bout time I get a vacation
Can’t stop til my casket close or atleast until I make it
But when your young and black and got drive there’s always gonna be somebody hating

[Hook: Planet VI]
In america (wooh-ohh 2x)
Tryna make it in america (wooh-oh 2x)
Tryna make it in america
Pledge our allegiance to our swag
Tryna make it in america
Together we fallen divided we stand
Tryna make it in america

In america (wooh-ohh 2x)
Tryna make it in america (wooh-oh 2x)
Tryna make it in america
Pledge our allegiance to our swag
Tryna make it in america
Together we fallen divided we stand
Tryna make it in america

Back in the days when we were young but were not kids anymore
But today I wish that we were kids again
Back in the days when we were young but were not kids anymore
But today I wish that we were kids again
